Posted over 5 years ago I need to take the FBAT test. Can anyone tell me what kind of test this is? I see some books I can order online, but they dont explain it to me what the test pertains to. Jen |

| Posted over 5 years ago Hi Jen, As the title states, it's a Basic ability inventory. That generally refers to having the skills the State of FL has determined necessary to be admitted to a training program. These skills are the minimum necessary to attend an academy in an entry level, pre-academy, capacity, screening potential for LE training, from what I understand. If you check with someone on PL that has already taken the exam, they can tell you basic info. I haven't seen a study guide for quite some time. Below is a link for a practice exam. The FDLE website can provide links to various companies providing tests and study guides. Your local community college or university may have a copy of a study guide. http://www.publicsafetyrecruitment.com/practicetests/intro.asp?testID=220 Good Luck! >>>>>>>>> -N/pc:) ......live at peace with everyone........ |

Also, everyone I've spoken to has said that doing the study guide has been helpful. Have a Great Day! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> -Npc:) ......live at peace with everyone........ |

| Posted over 5 years ago Thanks! the interview was very informative. I was given paperwork to fill out and return. I will try to take the test this morning after I get some sleep. If I do not pass te first time, I will get a study guide and re-take it again in the near future. Jen |

| Posted about 5 years ago Hmm practice exam... I was just browsing and I did DL the study guide and practice test, It was.. I dunno non challenging. It was all about paying attention to details, knowing pre-algebra (at best) and comprehension. I have to take this 2 times next year if my application to the Reserve Academy is accepted. I hope I do as well on the NCJOSI as I did their practice exam (missed 10 of 100 questions)

| Posted almost 2 years ago I have taken the FBAT 4 times total. I barely passed it the first time i took it but eventually went back and tried to take it again and did a little bit better. In florida you can only take it 3 times per year. I was told its a peice of cake until i realized i was points away from the passing score. I think the state passing score is 70%. Although certian county's are different. A study guide can help and give you good examples of whats going to be on the test. |
